# Tables

> How Hizura organizes a list into a structured table, and the three ways to work with one.

## What a table is

A table is the core unit of work in Hizura. Each table holds one segment — one ICP, one account list, one research question — and the structured data behind it.

A table consists of:

* **A name** — a descriptive title for the segment
* **Rows** — one per entity found (e.g. individual companies)
* **Columns** — one per field you asked for
* **Cells** — each researched value, with the [citations](/concepts/citations) behind it

## Creating a table

You can create a table in three ways:

1. Click **Create new table** in the empty workspace
2. Press `Cmd` + `;` (Mac) or `Ctrl` + `;` (Windows/Linux)
3. Click the add button in the [sidebar](/features/sidebar)

The first column is always the entity name — Hizura fills it in automatically, and you never request it in a brief.

## Cell types

Not every cell holds the same kind of value. Hizura picks the shape from what the column is for:

| Cell type        | What it holds                                                                                      |
| ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Researched value | The value plus the sources it came from — click to inspect                                         |
| Link             | A bare URL, rendered as a chip or in full (your choice)                                            |
| Email            | A work address that's been verified as deliverable, or nothing if none could be confirmed          |
| Grouped          | Several sub-rows inside one cell, when an entity has multiple of something (e.g. several founders) |

Cells are editable. Click into one to edit it directly; the editor handles multi-line values.

## Views

The same table can be viewed three ways, using the toggle in the table header:

<Columns cols={3}>
  <Card title="Table" icon="table">
    The default grid of rows and columns.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Pipeline" icon="diagram-project" href="/features/pipeline">
    A kanban board where each row is a card sitting in one of your steps.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Conversation" icon="comments" href="/features/conversation">
    A read-only record of how the table came to be.
  </Card>
</Columns>

## Display preferences are per-viewer

Column widths, column order, view mode, URL style, and whether the run summary banner shows are all stored per user, per table. Two people can look at the same shared table with completely different layouts, and neither disturbs the other.

You can reorder rows by dragging them, and resize or reorder columns directly in the header.

## Managing multiple tables

Create as many tables as you like and switch between them from the [sidebar](/features/sidebar). Each keeps its own data, pipeline, and conversation.

<Warning>
  Hizura runs one research at a time per account, so you can't start a second run while one is going. You can still move around freely — switch tables, read other results, work a board — and the run carries on regardless. Reloading or closing the tab doesn't stop it either; Hizura reconnects you to it when you come back.
</Warning>
